Summary of the contracting process

The Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy Programme, organised by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, is currently in the award and contract update stage. The programme aims to bolster gigabit-capable broadband infrastructure in Nottinghamshire and West Lincolnshire, areas unlikely to see commercial investment in the near term. A significant contract valued at £3,295,948 was awarded to CityFibre Limited on 22 May 2026, for the period from January 2024 to May 2026. This procurement process, initiated through a selective method adhering to a restricted procedure, classifies under the telecommunications services category and addresses locations in regions such as Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, and South Yorkshire.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for companies operating within the telecommunications sector to engage in an extensive government-backed project. SMEs and larger companies with capabilities in designing, building, and operating broadband networks can significantly benefit from this programme. The scope includes establishing a sustainable, gigabit-capable network infrastructure, vital for enhancing digital connectivity in underserved regions. Businesses with expertise in telecommunications infrastructure, construction, and maintenance services are ideally positioned to compete and contribute to achieving long-term broadband accessibility in these areas.
